The way you can simply shift up or down from the home menu to access the TV’s settings and other features is actually pretty inspired, too. Presentationally this actually works very well, resembling Samsung’s Eden platform in the way it limits its home screen appearance to a couple of icon decks at the bottom of the screen. Rather than turn to the likes of Roku or Android TV for its smart features as might have been expected of a TV with a background such as that of the 50UK3163DB, Toshiba’s latest TV instead bravely uses a home-grown system. This takes the form of ‘Tru’ options in the menus designed to deliver such benefits as smoother contouring, smoother motion reproduction and enhanced contrast through more detailed image analysis.ĭimensions w/o stand (hwd) 70 x 113 x 2.5cm The 50UK3163DB also stands out from entry-level Toshiba TVs via its TRU Picture Engine. Providing Dolby Vision on top of the more routine HDR10 and HLG HDR formats is still a compelling proposition, though.

Toshiba hasn’t gone for the full HDR sweep by also including support for the HDR10+ system that Samsung TVs favour over Dolby Vision. The former enables the TV to take advantage of extra scene-by-scene data delivered by Dolby Vision sources, while the latter sees the TV taking on the challenge of creating a soundstage capable of delivering at least a sense of Dolby Atmos’s object-based approach to sound. As noted, the highlight features of the 50UK3163DB – aside from the fact that it offers 50-inch 4K HDR pictures for just £449 – are its support for the Dolby duo of Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos sound.
